The Sony Ericsson Spiro is one of the latest mobile phones to be released under the company’s Walkman range of music orientated handsets. Because of this, much of the functionality of the phone is tailored towards its use as a high quality and versatile music playback device.
Thankfully, the Spiro has done away with the Fast Port technology which has blighted many other Sony Ericsson mobile phones in favour of an industry standard 3.5 mm jack, which means that Spiro owners can use any set of headphones to listen to their music. The phone also boasts Bluetooth stereo for high quality stereo wired and wireless playback.
Although the memory which comes with the Spiro is limited at just 5 MB, barely enough for more than a track or two of music, the on board memory can be bulked up to 16 GB with the purchase of a larger microSD card.
As with all the latest mobile phones, the Sony Ericsson Spiro comes with a camera – albeit with just 2-megapixels – and social networking integration. This means that users can share all of their information using services such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Another big functionality bonus is the fact that the Spiro uses threaded text messages, so entire conversations are stored in order for ease of access.
However, there aren’t many mobile phone deals for the Sony Ericsson Spiro, meaning potential buyers will have to search hard for good mobile phone contracts for the handset.
